with POP3 protocol, How Outlook access all the folders

Hi friends,

I have some doubts. Our mail server doesn't support the IMAP protocol. When i access the mails using Outlook, then I m able to get all the messages of INBOX as well as Trash & Deleted Messages?

How it happens, When only INBOX is accessible to user Using POP3 protocol. Using Outlook web access, I m able to access all the folder as well as I m able to create the folders also.

Can somebody tell me how does it works?

Outlook uses a Microsoft-specific protocol called MAPI. And your statement that your server doesn't support IMAP isn't quite correct. MS Exchange does support IMAP, but you have to ask the administrator to switch on IMAP support. The default setup for Exchange has it turned off.
